just listened to the album. wow. definitely gonna be in Philly for this.
That's so great! Very glad to hear that you enjoyed the record. Looking forward to seeing you in Philly!
Thana, ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! Thank you and the FANTASTIC BAND!
My wife and I saw you last night in Sacramento .. She bought me tickets for my birthday and we sat in the front . Thank You for a very special evening and a fantastic show !!
What a great bday present and a super hip wife you have!!!! So glad you enjoyed the show and thanks for being there!
Fantastic!!!!! It's hard to believe someone can SING those tricky rhythms and crazy intervals. Your voice is clean and rich and your improvisation is amazing. Of course the musicianship throughout the whole band is pure artistry. Of course, Antonio's drumming is other-worldly.
Got me thinking about hindustani and carnatic mtraditional singers. :) Except for the improvisation, which is stellar.
Sheesh. Just found this. That vocal solo….a freakin clinic on improvising. You can hear her searching, experimenting, reaching….an edge of your seat listening experience. Where’s she going? Building that story in front of us. Add to that a great tune and world class musos with giant ears….fuk me. I’m ded.
What a girl ! She is so divine. Congratulations Antonio !
This makes me cry for the beauty. Thank you. I am happy that following Antonio's music i've came across you Alexa!
Mind blowing performance! 👏👏👏
Where's "10 thumbs up" button? I need it. This performance requires it.
Great singing, great playing. I love this!
Sanchez, un mostro...
veramente incredibile
do not leave out this Caslin guy...
Thana... You're a real singer...! What a voice, what a technique...! Premium quality, all of you. I'm yours.
Never heard your voice before, it really was a wonderful surprise - power and sensibility - a WOW for the performance!
Thana Alexa + Antonio Sanchez = perfect...I love it 😍😍
Wow! That simply, was GREAT!
I'm not a player of any kind of musical instruments.
But I understand how high skill is required for this song, especially at the beginning.
You guys are super great!!
Thank you very much! I appreciate it!
I enabled autoplay on TH-cam and put the window in background. After a while, I came across this video by chance. Since the first note, I started to shiver. I immediately recognized the voice I heard at the Duc des Lombards last month, at Antonia Sanchez and the Migration band's concert. Normally, I'm really not into jazz vocals, thus, when Antonio Sanchez announced “Thana Alexa on the vocals” I was like “Hooooo dear, yet another banal jazz singer, let's get bored”. But that was indeed one of the best musical surprise I ever had. Thana Alexa made it sound so different, so refreshing, so original, so emotional. I wasn't prepared for that. All the musicians were so great this night. A musical experience I'll probably never forget. Thank you so so much. I had tears in the eyes during the whole concert, I rarely feel like this.
Please, let me know if you're planning to come in France again. Otherwise, I guess I'll have to come in the United States to hear you again ;) . Let me also know if there is any way to download your albums in a lossless format (FLAC/FLAC24, APE, WAV, …)! You really deserve better than Amazon or iTunes lossy MP3.
Madinko12 Wow, what an incredible compliment! Thank you so much for your words. I really appreciate your honesty and I'm so glad you enjoyed the concert at Duc des Lombardes and that you also came across my own music! My album is only available on Amazon or iTunes, unfortunately. But I hope that you enjoy it anyway!
Everybody is got to learn something
what a privilege to listen to such talented & virtuoso musicians...!!!! Thana your voice & performance are unique...!!!! and Antonio's solo on drums shows us once again why he is one of the BEST musicians in our world.... Congratulations...!!!!
Amazing, Thana! Come to Brazil, please! :)
Absolutely brilliant. Alexa is not only perfectly mastering all the rhythmic, dynamic, phrasing, vocal nuts and bolts but has also developed an astonishing sense for the architectural bends of soloing, offering an enormous Trip factor .
I love this so much!!
great voice and improvisation !
Izvrsno, čisti užitak!
fantastic voice!
OMG!!!!!!!!! That‘s Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
simply a fantastic performance guys woowa!! thanx
Great live... Great band,Great Thana Alexa👍.
Tanx for your music🙏
Super-amazing! I am so glad we still have such engaging and exciting music. THANA ALEXA is a genius and the band is out-the-box
so beautiful!! 😍
this is beautiful... this is necessary.
INCRÍVEL, EXTRAORDINÁÁÁRIOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely Fantastic Song! Congratulations on the wedding! I believe you and Antonio are the new Flora Purim and Airto. You sounded great last night in Denver at Dazzle. Your voice has amazing qualities: you have perfect diction and tone and you are able to sound like an instrumentalist too- you take a stunning solo on this performance - Bravo!
Brilliant!
And we are warned.....inviting, nothing else worth contemplating, invigorating. I'm not going to argue.
More, please. Both albums on heavy rotation.
Antonio better be counting his lucky stars! ;)
Damn your vocal solo was on point. Really great rhythmic and motivic development some of the best vocal improv I have heard in awhile.
Amo esta pieza. Es tan sexy, energetica, progresiva, sensual... se parece a su compositora.
Felicidades Thana! Te he visto una vez en Morelia, Michoacán, México presentando "The Meridian suite" soy tu fan desde ese día, saludos hasta donde quiera que te encuentres, mis mejores deseos. Salúdame a Antonio (soy súper fan de él igualmente). Y si regresan a México muy seguramente estaré ahí, gritando mucho!
ola Thana Alexa & Antonio Sanchez e Banda .. Musicas muito boas e um sentimento agradavel e favorel acada composiçao.. sempre aprendo a cada vez que vejo os tocando.... abrçs e que Deus abençoe a todos..
Your arrangements are awesome!! This is great music thank you very much!
What an awesome show! Thanks
Thana, very warm voice, really nice this video !
Excellent,
Thana Alexa TALENTO E BRAVURA ALLO STATO PURO! 👏👏👏👏
I was searching for a mobile game and ended to these piece of Artistry Jazz definelly it's great genre
Great song, great voice!!!
Parabens Thana !!! Cheers fromBrasil
Impeccabili come sempre
Des sacrés musiciens! Terrible à partir 6'00'' Personne n'a fait ça avant! Scat contemporain!
You guys are just incredible. Love it!
What a great drum bit towards the end!
I've been a professional drummer/hand + finger percussionist for 35 years. I have always loved polyrhythmic, polymetric and odd time signatures for my whole life. Apropos of that, I just love your arrangement sense (loved 'Take Five' in 7/4, too!)
Anyway, I'm really excited that you are going to be playing the Kuumbwa Jazz center in Santa Cruz (where Donny McCaslin is from, btw) next week. I'll pass the word to all my peeps there.
You are a fantastic arranger and singer, Thana! I just discovered you today because of the excellent feature article in the San Jose Mercury that I just read. Looking forward.
Thanks for your artistry!
Simply fabulous! Vrhunski! :)
This Is! Fabulous Job!!
The way that your voice is sinchronized with the saxs is amazing !
Beautiful!!
WoW. What wonderful great “stuff”.
That singer has a great drummer ;)
From the comments of Mr. Makinen, it sounds like congratulations are in order. Congratulations! You were given a wonderful instrument that you have developed so well. I was so impressed when, after Donny blew the doors down with his solo, you had the poise to blow a great solo too - a very thoughtful, melodic solo. All the best in your new life. Hope to see you with Pat and company someday - has there ever been a female in PMG? If not, it's time.
Normally not much into Jazz singers but really like what you're doing. Just ordered your albums looking forward to hear more.
LA DIGNA NOVIA DE UN GRAN MÚSICO, LA MEJOR PAREJA UNIDOS POR UNA GRAN PASIÓN... LA MUSICA¡
Absolutely fantastic. G🥁
Inventive composition. I like it!
Excellent !!^^ Beaucoup d'engagement et de passion... Merci ;)

Not the biggest fan of skating, but im a big fucking fan of this. holy shit
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!
hahaha no problem, amazing music!
Fantastic!
António fecha a boca , estás a olhar para a tua belíssima mulher.🇵🇹🥁🥰🥰🥰🥰
yes! dig it ;)
Congratulation Thana. Didn't hear something like this for long time. Sound like Tiziana Ghiglioni style, I would say slightly more sophisticated.
10:15 never thought blastbeats could be applied this effectively to jazz
Phenomenal
very nice!
Very Special!!
I feel like Thana's "Ode to Heroes" could have been written for Martin Luther King Jr. A fitting song on this MLK day of remembrance!
yaaa get ittt amazing
Wow I love you!
Thana I just saw and heard you with Migration in Mexico. You blew my mind and I'm buying all the Migration CDs...and yours too!
P.S. I'm half Croatian! Come to Charleston SC soon with Migration to perform the sublime Meridian Suite. Perhaps at the Spoleto Festival in Charleston? Please purty please!
Thank you!! So glad you saw one of the shows in Mexico! We had so much fun... It was a great tour. And you're half Croatian! Amazing!
Love ya...happy new year!
Bravo!!
You are beatiful and your voice too :-)
very cool!
What planet are they from? A whole new level…
sweet............
Dynamite...
Thumbs Up!!!
epic!
Me recordó a Joni Mitchell, gran obra ésta, yesssssss!!
Nice.
WOW. This is superb. Thanks for sharing! Any chance this group will hit Baltimore? Peace.
Thanks for listening and commenting! We won't be in Baltimore anytime soon... The closest we'll be is performing at the Philly Museum on August 12!
I just couldn't say anything but wow after watching this video... I really want to try and perform this one!! Is there any way that I can get the lyric of the lyrics part of this song? It's bit hard to catch exact lyrics by video. I'm just so into your voice Thana. Your voice is treasure.😍
Sohee Park Thanks for listening! Sure, I can send you the lyrics. Can you send me your email address?
Oh my gosh...thanks for replying😊 I wasn’t expecting so much because this video was uploaded three years ago🥰 sohee4167@gmail.com this is my email address!! Thanks again for replying and I will always be your biggest fan in South Korea!!!
Where can I buy your music?
Hello! Thanks for listening. You can visit my Bandcamp page: thanaalexa.bandcamp.com
Killing Thana...
13:10 is crazy.
A e s t h e t i c
I love u XD
Of course Dwight Schrute can play tenor...
I'd scratch my eyes out listening to this train wreck
She thinks she's Joni Mitchell 😆😂🤣
she is a far wider technician than Joni, but musically speaking that's another story.. both of them have heavy jazz roots ; don't you think your comment is pointless?
Donny McCaslin is the hell of a player and Sanchez has always this funny name (in French it means "without a stool")
